No account. No NDA required for BASIC.
You have an idea. Maybe it’s a sketch, maybe it’s already in development. Either way, you need to understand what already exists in your space before you invest significant time, money, or resources.
BASIC gives you a professional-grade snapshot of the patent and product landscape around your concept—without the $3,000+ price tag or weeks-long wait of traditional patent searches.
What’s included in your BASIC report
A concise, human-interpreted snapshot delivered in 1–2 pages of plain-English analysis.
Prior Art Density Assessment
A visual indicator showing how crowded your innovation space is. We highlight 3–5 public patent publications that appear highly relevant and explain why each one may matter to your concept.
Commercial Product Intelligence
We search Amazon, major e-commerce platforms, and product databases to identify what similar solutions already exist in the market—giving you competitive context beyond just patent data.
Key Player Analysis
Discover which entities appear most active in your space based on publicly available patent filings, and whether you’re entering a highly competitive space or a less crowded area with room for innovation.
White Space Opportunities
We highlight areas where competition appears lighter—potential opportunities for differentiation or pivoting your approach to stand out in the market. These observations are informational and are not determinations of patentability or freedom to operate.
How the BASIC process works
Typical turnaround: under 1 hour from submission to delivery. Maximum turnaround: 24 hours for complex concepts or high-volume periods.
Submit your concept
You provide a brief description of your idea—no need for technical drawings or formal specifications. Just explain what problem you’re solving and how your solution works.
AI-powered initial search
Our system queries publicly available patent databases, including USPTO, using expert CPC codes and conducts targeted product searches across major e-commerce platforms.
Human analyst review
An experienced researcher reviews the AI-generated results, filters false positives, verifies patent relevance, and adds strategic context that machines miss.
Receive your snapshot
You get a concise 1–2 page PDF report with plain-English summaries, density indicators, and actionable observations—delivered within 24 hours.
